See footnote 3. "This does not necessarily mean a lot of people are doing evil illegal nefarious naked shorting! Really, I promise! There is no special limit on shorting at 100% of shares outstanding! Here is an explanation of how options market makers (discussed below) are allowed to short without a locate, but I want to offer an even simpler explanation. There are 100 shares. A owns 90 of them, B owns 10. A lends her 90 shares to C, who shorts them all to D. Now A owns 90 shares, B owns 10 and D owns 90—there are 100 shares outstanding, but190 shares show up on ownership lists. (The accounts balance because C owes 90 shares to A, giving C, in a sense, negative 90 shares.) Short interest is 90 shares out of 100 outstanding. Now D lends her 90 shares to E, who shorts them all to F. Now A owns 90, B 10, D 90 and F 90, for a total of 280 shares. Short interest is 180 shares out of 100 outstanding. No problem! No big deal! You can just keep re-borrowing the shares. F can lend them to G! It's fine."
Actually the B1-B has done a huge amount of the sorties for CAS. It can respond quickly, has a huge weapons load, and combined with targeting pods, can just sit above a fight plinking targets. It's loiter time is much better than 90% of the fighters over Afghanistan.

The idea of getting down in the weeds (below 1K AGL) is not how CAS is done anymore. It's extremely rare to get that close. It's not how the A-10 is typically used.
It's naive to imagine there aren't funds on both sides of this behavior.
You’re probably right.

I thought I saw something in the comment history about him mailing the Board and being on the calls, but now I can’t find it.
That implies that they are the bad guys and not the people who were irresponsibly shorting the stock to such a great extent.
Indeed. In particular is when an update is released for an app on the App Store where the developer removes or moves features to subscription or 'in app purchase'. "Free to Fee". If this isn't mentioned in the update notes, and you update, there is no way to go back to the functionality you were 'happy with' at "Free". Given most users exchanged their privacy for "free", and typically that exchange is irreversible once completed, the option to revert to a previous version should be made available.

What makes you think WS wasn’t profiting on the long side? These are professionals who live to exploit anomalies day in day out. Sure, retails made money but most of the pot went to...Wall Street.
I made 5 figures yesterday after I had bought in around $40. My initial investment was pretty low and when it hit high $140s I took my money and ran.

At these boosted stock prices all it's going to take to sink anybody is an after hours announcement of additional shares being offered.

I couldn't made a lot more money but I try not to be greedy.
As of when I'm writing this comment, GME is up about 1,800% since the beginning of the year. I am extraordinarily skeptical that this is a good thing, for Gamestop or the investors or really anyone at all.
I hope they put a lot of thought into potential changes. In my opinion, if the law is modified sub-optimally, sites like HackerNews could potentially lose their comment section. The two moderators here do a lot of work to keep this site going, but the wrong wording in section 230 could make their job harder or potentially add undesirable legal risk.
> Few farms will talk about killing their animals, of course, keeping what is happening sterile in appearance is pretty important for keeping the amount people eat high

That's exactly what I was trying to point out. Animal product industries have so many different ways in which they're cruel to animals - e.g., for dairy, the things I pointed out that are missing from the posted webpage - that individual companies can try to make themselves look better/ethical by pointing out the one or two things they're doing better than average, while omitting all of the other horrific parts of the pipeline (as another poster in this thread said, "ethics-washing").
Yes, except the stated (and true) reasoning is "because fuck you, that's why."
"Embedded javascript to make them responsive"

That sounds optional and a bit of JS for making things responsive certainly doesn't automatically create a CPU/Memory/Battery drain.
Someone educate me but why are hedge funds not limiting the loss by covering the short and closing their short position. Wouldn't that stop pumping from WSB crowd?

The only exceptions I could think of is :

- There isn't enough volume to cover shorts due to incessant buying spree from retail side

- Lending freeze initiated by brokers on client request
Hard no! I want scams and shady schemes uncovered. What a disappointment that Herbalife wasn't brought down by the shorts.

I'm struggling to even understand what a market with "no negativity" means. We want to evaluate firms with a critical eye. If they are mis-valued, that serves no one.
This is a fantastic article, it does miss one very key point about bog-standard HTML which is worth mentioning though.

The standard widgets are all accessible, people with screen readers, limited mobility, poor vision, etc, all rely on pages being written so the devices they use to read the web can function properly. People who choose to eschew these standard components very frequently end up with a site which is unusable for disabled people.

Very few people have the skill to turn a div into an effective button, yet over and over I see web sites with rows of buttons which are in fact just divs with javascript behind them.

Making your site accessible isn't just a good practice, in the US, it is the law. Courts have ruled that the ADA applies to web sites along with any other type of business. A small sample of sites where people thought they could smash together super-fancy sites without concern for basic needs of users: https://www.atilus.com/top-10-ada-lawsuits/
The bar is different, but so are the aims.

Industry works solely on stuff that's reproducible because it wants to put these things into practice. That makes for an admirable level of rigor, but constrains their freedom to look at unprofitable and unlikely ideas. That inevitably results in inadvertent p-hacking. The first attempt to look at something unexpected is always "This might be nothing, but..."

They call in other people earlier because they're not protecting trade secrets or trying to get an advantage. They do want priority, and arguably it would be better if they could wait longer and do more work first, but the funding goes to the ones who discover it first.

So there's no real reason for either academics or industry scientists to look askance at each other. They're doing different things, with standards that differ because they're pursuing different goals. They both need each other: applications result in money that pushed for new ideas, and ideas result in new applications.
It looks this is the actual report that the article is referring to: http://povertymeasurement.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Mon...

(Edited to include the latest report)
You forgot that you can route to a supercharger and it will pre-condition the batter for charging so it is faster. Also, it will show you how full the charger is, directly from the app.
OP here, I like to collect interesting and useful websites to visit later. Browser bookmarks are cool but they quickly get disorganized and I forgot the folder where I have bookmarked the website.

So, I built Bunklist to collect my favourite websites into simple lists for my personal use and also to share it with my friends and team. If you are looking for something to organize your bookmarks, give Bunklist a try and let me know your thoughts about it.

You can set your list to be public or private, Public lists are discovered by other users, they can add comments, like, bookmark, or save websites into their list using the “Bunk it” button .

I have also made a “Shuffle”, an alternative to StumbleUpon to discover one random website from public lists.

Bunklist is completely free to use & I am looking for your feedback and suggestions to improve our product.
For superchargers, where you'd want it most, no. Superchargers use a specific protocol to communicate with the car for purposes of billing -- tied to the Tesla account associated with the car. I don't think the plug itself is different than a normal Tesla plug (other than being beefier, perhaps?) but I could be wrong.

For normal Tesla wall chargers, like one that might be installed at someone's house, I think there are adapters that might work for the Leaf, but I have no experience with them.

That said, other than Tesla, I think there is standardization. Especially with Electrify America. But, Tesla's network is so convenient and widespread that it is currently a big selling point for the brand, in my opinion.
Exactly -- reducing the barriers to market entry while increasing widespread market understanding reduces the _unique_ opportunity for arbitrage that Wall Street has enjoyed.
To each their own! I can not stand having random apps installed on my phone. They all eventually turn into notification spamming spyware. I get spam phone calls all the time anyway, have the charging station call / text me and leave me a message instead
I’m sad at CSS but not HTML. If you look at other front end approaches by other communities they will have something similar to reusable components which can be nested as a DAG with some technique to pass state around, but which community is inspired by CSS?
Oh. Interesting. Thanks for the clarification
Exploring Serverless Use-Cases with David McKay (Rawkode) and Alex Ellis
They have at least 2 competitors: Appointlet (5 people) and Harmonizely (2 people). How did this company get $350M for linking calendars. Harmonizely has more features (e.g. CalDAV integration)! Both have more generous free tiers

Calendly on the other hand, hasn't cared to add CalDAV integration since 2016: https://help.calendly.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/245299227...
Thank you for pointing that out :)

If someone would get serious about security, auditing every setuid binary would certainly be something on their list (if they use any). If they really want the functionality, rewriting it to cover just enough of the required functionality wouldn't be unheard of.
Offhand, just from my own crummy bio memory of prices of things...

I'd estimate about a 50% increase in food prices in about the last decade.

I'd also estimate that the asking price of a house was completely out of whack even post the recession in 2008; it _never_ corrected in any of the west coast areas I live in. Still even that price has continued to go up due to inelastic supply and ever growing demand.
> But you can't accurately assess the whole picture without taking the upsides into account, too.

apologies but it sounds like PR from the tobacco industry before they got regulated. wonder how we'll look at this in 10-15 years time. the "let's listen to both sides" argument has no place on something this evil and damaging (not just to children) imo.
Yes. Not to say nothing exists though or that there is no meaning.

To get really out of the realm of HN, no one thing can be proven to exist outside of our collective hallucination. That hallucination has reliable rules, thankfully, so things can be proven to exist inside it.
Estonia E-Residency
Would the real power move be for everyone to pull their money out of the stock market? I realize that's not an option for those who don't already have money in it. If a few small players can expose the ponzi scheme/grift that is the modern stock market, that sounds pretty good to me.
What vital information or services are forbidden to you due to being trapped in PDFs or horrendously complicated web sites?

It boggles the mind how many government websites - and government-contracted services from private companies - depend on PDFs as a primary mode of communication. I get emails from my teen's high school directing me to download a PDF for announcements like snow days or COVID updates when plaintext would not only suffice, it would be far more likely to be read by people using mobile phones which is probably the majority of the parents in our district.
I wipe the 3rd disk and then dumbly copy all my data to it again. My reasoning is that I want the complete volume of data actually copied as part of the backup activity. The source filesystem, being btrfs, should raise an error if there was bit rot, but that requires actually reading the file contents. If there is, I can grab the copy from the syncthing peer. The destination hard drive has to actually write all the file contents, so the magnetic fields should be all fresh.

The 3rd hard disk is a cold backup in case syncthing has a common mode failure that takes out my redundant drives. I want its filesystem to be as boring as possible. For me that currently means ext4. I don't want to have to manage and worry about another tool that optimizes away data transfers, when there's value in the data transfer and plenty of copy bandwidth going SATA to SATA.
I'd like to see the sources for this.

There was a lot of focus on DU at times, especially with regards to Gulf War Syndrome (perhaps because of the "uranium" being in the name) but I believe most of the focus has now shifted elsewhere, particularly with regards to the anti-chemical and anti-biological mixes soldiers were given in the run up to the invasion. I can't find many of the articles I've read on this over the years, but Wikipedia has a decent summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War_syndrome#Causes

The thing with DU and what ended up ruling it out as much of an exposure factor is that it is extremely heavy. Particulates of it don't travel far. They sink, fall short, etc. They don't waft around in air or get suspended in water like some compounds do. I don't think anyone would suggest that you ingest the stuff, but from what I'd read, the extreme weight of the stuff kept it localized and unlikely to be ingested or exposed to in any amounts that would cause wide issues.

That there were other factors that could cause these effects I don't dispute. But it was my understanding that it was determined that it was concluded DU wasn't one of them.
Its like Apple. All the connectors are the same, except Tesla which has its own standard. You can get adapters though.
I'd say things are worse. Forums were a more personal experience. Fewer people, shared interests, avatars.

Look at HN - how many commenters do you personally recognize, except for the ones that are popular because they're part of YC (so for things outside of this discussion forum) or because they also submit articles they're written (so again for things outside of this forum)?

I probably recognize maybe 10 people, and with the way this discussion forum is designed, I recognize them despite the software, not because of it.
Why would a Tesla owner care about interoperability?
The supercharger network is clearly a selling point for Tesla. Why do they need to allow access to other manufacturers? Why would they even want to do that?

I mean, this whole article is about how Tesla invested in a charging infrastructure that is leaps and bounds above all competitors. The whole point is that Tesla decided that was a requirement before scaling up production and it is a key reason why people choose their EVs over the competition.
About the 'card deck' combinations: That's why we can be virtually certain there are no life forms in the universe that consist of a chain molecule (as it's version of "DNA") where there's more than a handful of different types of molecules along the chain.

Nature is statistically guaranteed to find the simplest patterns first and that's why our life is built on 'binary' (two kinds of 'cards' AT/GC). Life on all planets will likely use binary "information storage", especially because of it's modularity (i.e. it can be cut-n-pasted together in different patterns)

The cheap stuff is ok but the 'higher-end' of IKEA products are just not good. For example, their couches are in the hundreds of dollars range but the cushions become flat and uncomfortable after a very short period of time. Investing a little more in a non-IKEA quality couch will feel like night and day.
Pensions funded by current workers towards the pensioners are also very widespread worldwide, doesn't mean they aren't an unsustainable practice.

The same can be the case for 401(k)s and similar systems. And I say that living in Sweden where the majority of my pension will consist of funds that I can manage myself the split, so I should believe in this system for my own sake.
In the UK, there are several different networks now and they offer a good enough experience. Polar Network (now BP Pulse) has many more locations than Tesla, and their rapid chargers are located in convenient locations, such as restaurants and hotels or on a side street in the city center. Cost-wise, the rapid charger price is just 60% of the Tesla Supercharger per kwh.
>It is pretty simple that businesses have to pay more taxes than non-profits.

The simple thing would be to have every organization have the same tax rules, and then all tricks are prevented.

Once you start getting into what is and isn't for profit, and what is and isn't charity, is when things become complicated. Should megachurches where the leader flies in a private plane be taxed differently than a business? Should Scientologists get a tax break?
Savage: Fileless Screenshot Exfil via Dropbox
GameStop can issue shares at the higher price and use the cash to revitalise their business. Note I'm not familiar with the company so I can't assess whether the company is salvageable.
Small misunderstanding, he gave two scenarios, one which he claims is tax avoidance, one which he claims is evasion. My "opposite" referred to him swapping which one is by definition either avoidance or evasion.

> And since we're not in the middle of some courtroom proceedings, in spirit is how we should understand these words.

Agreed that one should be charitable with their interpretations. That said, not caring (or knowing) about this important difference between the two terms is a signal that one only has a shallow understanding of these matters. What useful opinion could one hold about how companies should be taxed when one doesn't understand basic economic terms?

And how much meth ("go pills") you were on.
> supported TCP/IP before the OS did (yes, that was possible. I don’t know whether you still could do that on a modern system), though, so who knows?

In general you can. If the OS lets you open raw sockets, you can implement TCP and all yourself in userspace. Although in those days, I'm guessing it was actually implementing the entire AT modem stack too, and just driving the modem directly via a serial port.
Indeed. Hedge funds by nature skim from volatility. When they hold short positions they have "partners" that short and distort.

Everything is astroturfing/selling pretty much nowadays.

Social media is not reality, though astroturfing/distorting can become reality for better or for worse, depends on your position/tribe. What is on the surface is rarely what is the driving force underneath.
The big pumping has only happened over the last few days. Hedge funds are starting to close their short positions (two of the most noted ones Melvin and Citron announced they had just this morning), and many commentators do expect that this will cause the stock to crash soon as people move on.

> there was a man present who thought he could answer them as well

That’s a funny way to characterize a bunch of male doctors ignoring my wife’s request for them to ask me simple questions instead of her because she was incapacitated with pain, particularly when in a previous situation I broke my ankle and my request for questions to be addressed to her went fulfilled without any objections by the hospital staff.

But I will be sure to let my wife know that a stranger on the internet thinks her claims of sexism at the hospital are unfounded.

I don't know why we always go back to income inequality, it's not a useful metric. What matters is how many people are living good, prosperous lives. You can have have income equality simply by keeping everyone equally poor, or you can have prosperous societies where some people have a lot more than others, but everyone is doing well. Income inequality is only meaningful if the amount if wealth and prosperity in a society is fixed, which it's not.
Wow, I wasn't expecting such an in-depth response!

Yes. The large order is placed on the market, and it would be gobbled up at this point in time.
